155 East 168th Street, Bronx, NY 10452

155 East 168th Street is a 51-unit, 6-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1924 and currently owned by 42 Hc LLC. The property has experienced persistent maintenance challenges in recent months, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and service requests indicating various issues.

Most notably, there are active violations from late 2024 in apartment B regarding rodent infestations (mice and roaches), peeling paint requiring remediation, and water leak problems. Apartment 5A has been cited for several violations including a defective self-closing door, multiple instances of peeling paint, and inoperable smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though many of these were marked as closed after December 2024. The building's mechanical systems have shown concerning patterns, with three active Department of Buildings violations from 2019-2023 regarding unfiled inspection reports for external low-pressure systems and boiler inspections.

Recent service requests from April 2025 generated multiple complaints about doors, walls, flooring, and unsanitary conditions, though several of these inspections revealed no violations or the inspectors could not access the reported areas. The property has maintained a consistent record of pest control activity, with regular inspections showing rat activity and bait application throughout 2024-2025. While there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the last five years of records, the building's documented history shows ongoing challenges with rodent control and maintenance compliance that require attention to ensure resident safety and comfort.
